by Bunky 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

I picked up a Baofeng UV-6R I finally got it programmed, only problems I had was the error message sayng 0.0000 was out of limits for my receive only frequencies. but got by that. Now I would like to change my Welcome message but I can't get it to change. settings are set in my files but when I got to load the radio it goes back to the default. Anyone have a fix for this ?

I don't know what setting it is, but you have to tell the radio what to display on power on. Check your menu settings for such an option.

My mistake, yes the Wouxun D901 DMR HT. My friend needs a copy of the Flash Memory.

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20161116 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #449 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test image for Alinco DJ-G7 Related to #699 [Mathias Weyland <lt-betrieb(a)hb9uf.ch>] Add support for Alinco DJ-G7EG. Partially addresses #699 This patch adds basic support for the DJ-G7EG. The patch was tested on Linux and Windows 7 and can reliably download memories from, and upload memories to the radio. Other flavours of the DJ-G7 are not supported yet because I don't know whether they use the same memory map or not. The patch introduces a new class to the alinco.py driver. This is some- what unfortunate because the radios supported by alinco.py so far are all quite similar. The DJ-G7EG is considerably more different from the others, yet still sufficiently similar to re-use some of the methods implemented in AlincoStyleRadio. I'll leave it up to the reviewers to comment on that. Code that might be of particular interest to reviewers is marked with "FIXME" comments. The patch does not support changing bank assignments, groups, and/or radio settings. I am planning to add dynamic bank assignements as soon as I have figured out how to do this best with Chirp. [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Minor PEP8 cleanup for some drivers. Fixes #4161.

I have a FT1D and had similar problem. Cable would not work with RT systems software.. had to use a micro sd card with RT program. Put card in radio after programming and then uploaded the program from sd card to radio.. worked well -----Original Message----- From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of Robert Carter Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2016 8:49 AM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] programming Yaesu FT2D I picked up my general license this year due to an incident I was involved in -- remote accident with no communications.
